  I don't have any idea about whether it is a scam or not, but the references
to
  Bidder 1, Bidder 2, etc are something EBay has started doing. It has
something
  to do with providing more detailed bidding history without disclosing the ID
of
  the bidder to help prevent scams and prank bidders.  The seller and of 
course
  the bidder who placed the bid can see the real user names who placed the 
bid.

[Thanks for the input, Matt.  I wasn't aware of the new bid history policy... 
I don't
usually look at bid information on auctions I'm not participating in.  Learn
